The bubbletea craze in Singapore seems to have lasted longer that the last one a decade ago, and seems to be staying for quite a while more. The way to stay ahead is really variey and innovation, and therefore Share Tea has launched 18 hot milk teas and will be introducing a new cream series [...]

ShareTea remains one of my favourite bubbletea shops, so much so that I even went to Taipei for a one day training course. It was very enriching and made me realise so much work goes into a single cup. A fan of ShareTea too? The good news is Daniel’s Food Diary is giving away 5 [...]

Artease, which can mean putting art into tea, has been very popular with office ladies at its first outlet at Tanjong Pagar. The good news is this new shop at Orchard Cineleisure is also a collaboration with a Japanese restaurant, and you can therefore expect food such as bento sets, burgers, rice rolls, salads and [...]

Bubble tea fans were so worried momentarily that their favourite drink would be banned. Ever since beverages, jams and jellies manufactured in Taiwan were test for DEHP contamination, bubble tea chains in Singapore are hot on their toes. Gong Cha 贡茶 has earlier voluntarily stopped selling its fruit-flavoured drinks because the flavoured syrup comes from [...]

The popular I Love Taimei opens another branch at the basement of Bugis Junction. And I ordered a Selina set ($7.20) which comprises a BBQ crispy chicken, side dish and bubble drink.

If you crave for Taiwanese food, look no further. You can find delicious and genuine Taiwanese delights right here at Chinatown. The braised pork rice ($3.50 for set with soup) at Ah Tai was a simple dish of braised pork belly on Japanese pearl rice topped with marinated egg. Based on a Taiwanese family recipe, [...]

Wisma has a revamp to its basement with new shops such as Mr Bean, Sour Sally (a yoghurt place) and of course, a new bubble tea shop. This is Share Tea 歇脚亭 first venture in Singapore. Share Tea has over 90 outlets in Taiwan and has gained a very strong base of loyal fans, also [...]

Another bubble tea shop opens – and I have lost track on the number of newbies. Drink Tea 水研社 opens its second brand (first branch at Bedok) at NEX Serangoon Central. What’s special about the bubble tea is that the pearls are pink! Drink Tea’s signature pink pearls are made from Roselle Plant extract. The [...]

Once upon a time, there were Quickly, Cool Station, Milk Girl and Happy Cup, all once taken over the country by storm in 2001, and left almost just as fast. We have seen papa rotis and donuts through this phase before. But none, and I mean none, has reached the amazing queue lines caused by [...]
